Everything you need to know about growing pumpkins

This has to be the definitive book on growing and using pumpkins. The author covers everything from starting seeds, preparing the field, caring for the plants, troubleshooting and finally harvesting and enjoying the fruits of your labors. There is detailed information on pumpkin varieties and pumpkin pests. The final chapters have extensive recipes for pumpkin. The writing is clear and the scope is comprehensive. I highly recommend it.

A sampler of all things pumpkin

This book was a wonderful addition to my book collection because I had been looking for a good pumpkin book for a while. There are tons of them here on amazon but the vast majority of them are mainly for very young children and aren't very informative for an adult who would like to aquire some practical knowledge on our favorite Winter Squash.
The Perfect pumpkin is really the perfect sampler of all types of pumpkin information, such as the history of pumpkins, how to grow them, how to carve them, how to cook with them( an entire recipe section! ) and even crafty things such as how to make your very own pumpkin hand soap. This is a very pleasant and interesting book that should satisfy both children and adults. My only gripe about the book is that the growing section wasn't as informative and comprehensive as I was hoping it would be. There is more than enough information for the first time grower, but for anyone who is a novice grower or professional grower should probably also buy "How to grow world class giant pumpkins" as a companion to this book. But for the first time pumpkin grower also looking for some fun facts and information about pumpkins in general, this is ideal.
